The Heron pre-alpha release version 0.5.9.9 is now available for download
at Heron-Language.com.

The Heron release, 0.5.9.9 comes with two separate programs: HeronFront and HeronScript.
These programs are being tested and developed on Visual C++ 7.1 and GCC 3.4.2 running on
MinGW. HeronScript runs only under MS-Windows.

This is a pre-alpha release which means that there are several bugs and many features are
incomplete.

The HeronScript program currently parses expression and variable declarations, but does
little more than outputs messages indicating it has successfully parsed the text. HeronFront produces operational C++ code. Code produced by HeronFron is
only tested under the Visual C++ 7.1 and GCC 3.4.2 platforms.

Documentation of the source code and usage of the tools is not yet available.
